THE POOR MANS FENCE.
Kansas Farmer Tells why He Prefers
Hedges to Barbed Wire.

l planted p miles of Usage orange
hedge fence in 1877, and in four years
had fence which will turn cattle and
horses. Last spring / laid one mile of
hedge fence on opposite sides of the
highway, and with another seasons
growth it will also be complete fence
for all kinds of stock. In the spring of
1888 commenced building wire fence,
and at present have about two miles of
wire fence on my farm. The conclu-
sion to which my experience leads me
is this: The hedge fence has many
and important advantages which the
barbed-wire fence has not and never
can have, and after making due allow
ances for all Objectionable features
claimed against it, it stands pre-emi-
nently superior, all things considered,
to the barbed-wire fence for the gen.
eral purposes for which fences are
built by the farmers. l think the cost
of hedge fence is much less than
wire. Twelve feet is amply wide for
the hedge row, and a mile of this width
will occupy II acres of land. The cost

Death Penalty In Russia.

1t has been announced that no fewer than
fourteen outof thirty peasants tried by mill
tary law for an agrarian murder in Pcnza,
Russia, have been condemned to death It is
very strange that such extraordinary facts os
this do not attract more attention. Capital
punishment, which has never formed. part of
tho criminal law of Russia, has nevertheless
been gradually introduced under cover of the
extra military measures rendered necessary
against the Nihilists, and now crimes that in
no way pal'talIe of q political or revolution
ary character arc investigated by extraor-
binary military courts and punished accord
ingly. Tho Viedomosti, in referring to the
above case in which the steward of an estate
was murdered for purely private and local
reasons, merely observes that it is sad cir

court martial. There are now frequent exc

Now rreatmcnr for Consumption.

The star of Bergeon's treatment waning
little, new forms of cure for tubercular pa
tients are being found with unabated vigor,
and NJ. Garcin comes to tho front with by
drofuoric acid This new method consists
in placing phthisical patients for an hour
every day in d small cabinet which contains
SIX cubic meters Of air that is saturated with
hydro1uoric acid. This saturation IS obtained
by pumping current Of air through Sutta
percha bottle that contains 100 grammcs OF
the acid to 800 grammes of distilled water.
The quantity of dir pumped i'll is renewed
every fifteen minutes, Us the effect Is quickly
exhausted.
The system has been tried for year past
in number of cabinets that N. Garcia has
fitted up in room in his own house, and dur
ing the month of August q hundred patients
were submitted to tho treatment. Or this
number, fourteen remained as before forty
one were improved, and thirty-fivc were
cured while ten died. 1t is stated that under
the influence of this form of medication the
attacks of coughing diminish end finally
cease The Koch bacilli cannot resist this
acid, as they at first Gre found to diminish in
number and soon they no longer segment; at
last they entirely disappear from the secre-
lions. The general state of the patients was
much improved, the appetite was increased,
the night sweats ceased, and some patients
treated over year ago remain well. Itseems
that the workmcn ut the celebrated glass
manufactory at Baccaret had first noticed
that the hydro1uoric acid they employed had
good effects on the health of consumptive per-
sons-Paris Cor Now York Medical Journal.

Chicago woman, being left alone with them,
undertook to furnish the chat. "Iwas sitting
out hero on tho piazza last night" said she,
"aftcr every ono else had left, and CHANGED
to ovcrhear scrap of conversation from ono

had all her children about her, and took each
one of them by tho hand and asked them to
meet her in heaven, and with tears and sobs
such as those only know who have stood by
tho deathbed of good old mother They all
promised. But there was a young man Of 10
who had been very wild, and reckless, and
bard, and proud, and when she took his hand
she said: CHOW, my boy, I want you to
promise me before die TINT you will become
Christian and meet me in heavcn.n The
young man made no answer, for there was
SO much for him to give up If he made and
kept such promise: But the aged mother

arms around his mothers neck and said:
